This next Call wants to know about your favorite scape, be it land, city, sea, or in your mind. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: 3×3 ProShow

Posted on March 6, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

horny as a
CUCUMBER

I’m on the lookout for a horned melon aka an African cucumber. I tried one many years ago and remember the flavors of lemon, banana and cucumber, but because they are exceedingly rare, I can’t find one locally. I suspect if I find one in the South, it will probably be imported and unripe. Those tend to just taste like banana. Keep your fingers crossed, or send me one if you run across it. In the meantime, the next Call is a very rare illustration call. Take a look…

SUNDAY
fare

I prefer thought-out, composed meals with true intention. But, let’s face it…that doesn’t always happen. Today, my lunch included two olive & cream cheese stuffed pieces of celery, a deviled egg, a pickled beet, two slices of fresh tomato and two pickles. The only thing composed was the beautiful square plate. Truly, it was a collage of anything I could find that didn’t have to be cooked. This next Call wants your collage, AND they want it square. Whatcha think about that?

CUTS of cold

It isn’t even officially winter yet, and I am already whining about wanting to picnic. I think it is the prevalence of cold cuts at holiday parties that does this to me. That, or my dogged determination to not be happy in whichever food season I find myself. But, I prefer to think it is the subliminal messaging from cold cuts. Four months and counting until I can eat in the open air again. Speaking of open air, check out this next Call. This is a new category of Call for AAAD. Show them some picnic-style love…

Who will be ARTIST of the YEAR?

Posted on December 6, 2013December 6, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

SPRINKLE ME

One of the joys of writing posts for this blog is the privilege of reviewing entries into the $5 Art Contest. Choosing a Featured Artist is difficult, but I appreciate the opportunity to do so. Featured Artists are a little like the sprinkles on top of my art community cupcake.

Once a Featured Artist’s post goes live, their job is simply to promote the post to both the benefit of AAAD and their own exposure. Comments generated by their posts are counted at the end of the year, and the post wit the largest number of comments is named Artist of the Year.

In 2010, it was Catherine Roach. She will always have a special place in AAAD’s history. She keeps in touch, and we are so very proud to be a part of her history. In 2011 it was the intricate work of weaver Pamela Zimmerman. Her original interview remains among my favorites. In 2012, it was mixed media collage artist Stephanie Mead’s portraiture work that took my breath away.

Who will be ArtAndArtDeadlines.com’s
2013 Artist of the Year?
That is all up to you.

Look through the 2013 Featured Artist profiles. Leave a comment for your favorite…or more than one. Comments stop being counted after midnight EST on December 31st.

Results will be announced the first week of January!

If you would like to be considered for Featured Artist, enter our $5 Art Contest (that can also be entered for free). Or, if competition isn’t your cup of tea, submit your information to our Artist to Love program and start building a stronger web presence today!
